Description of the problem | Shortly after taking ownership, we felt a shaking of the vehicle when making turns or when slightly accelerating/stopping (like when stuck in traffic) at low speeds. Generally happens at 18 mph but anywhere from 15-25 mph. The vehicle will shake for a couple of seconds. Dealer acknowledged issue, performed software update which didn't resolve the issue. We requested the recording device to be installed to capture the judder for nissan corporate satisfaction, unfortunately the recording device was faulty and was unable to record anything. We are waiting for the dealer to fix the device, however the juddering is still occurring and i often feel unsafe in this vehicle. Nissan knows exactly what is happening but is not making it easy for the dealer to fix as they want the judder recorded. The dealer tech's know it's happening on our vehicle, yet we can't get any resolution. |
